How long does a SharePoint migration typically take?

2–6 weeks depending on volume and complexity. A small migration (under 5,000 docs) may take 2–3 weeks. Larger migrations with cleanup and metadata design can take 4–6 weeks.

What happens to our existing permissions?

We map permissions to the new structure and validate after migration. SharePoint Migration Tool preserves ACLs where possible. We run permission audits before and after to catch gaps.

Do you help with content cleanup before migration?

Yes. We recommend a content audit first—identify duplicates, outdated files, and what to archive. Clean migration reduces clutter and improves findability. We include this in our migration planning.

SharePoint Migration & Modernization

Move from SharePoint on-premises, classic pages, or legacy platforms to modern SharePoint Online. We plan migrations, audit content, and migrate with minimal disruption.

Migration types

We support on-premises to cloud, classic to modern, and migrations from legacy intranets (Confluence, SharePoint 2013/2016/2019). Each migration is planned with content audits and user communication.

What we deliver

Content audit, migration plan, execution, and testing. We ensure permissions, metadata, and links are preserved—and we train your team on the new environment.

Our migration process

Content audit and cleanup—we identify duplicates, outdated content, and metadata gaps. Migration plan and timeline—cutover or phased, with user communication. Execution and validation—we migrate, test permissions and links, and train your team.

Migration risks and how we mitigate them

Permissions can break—we map and validate. Broken links—we run post-migration checks. Metadata loss—we design schemas before migrating. User confusion—we provide training and communication plans.
